Not hired after all? Or only halfway?
Preliminary short storytime:
I was recently the first time in London and of course had to visit the Harrods. One hears yes again and again what of the whole Exclusives of the brands for the department store and I was accordingly curious. Interestingly, there is a large perfume department on the first floor with everything the heart desires, but micht not all Exclusives. The real paradise is the sixth floor at the top, which was not so easy to find. On a gauntlet of (exuberant) luxuriousness, however, I finally caught the right escalator and was there. An aisle with rooms open to the left and right for individual brands, such as Roja, Xerjoff and more. Tom Ford also had its own small boutique and I immediately noticed the decanters: Amber Absolute, Italian Cypress, Arabian Wood. I thought "they are discontinued, aren't they?!". I got into a conversation with the nice saleswoman and she said that these fragrances are exclusive to Tom Ford's Harrods and also only in the 250ml decanter. It seemed as if she did not know that these were also once accessible to the broad market and also in other sizes (or am I wrong, if so please correct :) ). I find it interesting that Tom Ford doesn't seem to have made any actual exclusive fragrances for Harrods, but simply sells a few of the discontinued ones there. So who loves this or the other fragrances more than anything else and has the wherewithal, in London they are available.
So now to the fragrance: it starts relatively spicy smoky with clearly recognizable incense. That lays but relatively quickly and an extremely balanced slightly sweet, slightly woody and very resinous amber fragrance comes to light, which is very very nice but for me now has not opened a new world. However, it must be said that it conveys a very warm sense of security and is definitely a feel-good scent. Durability and sillage are very good, the dabs from the decanter have left a really yellow color on my skin, which was also present hours later in parallel with the fragrance.
Thanks for reading
